Okay, so this summer I had been trying to connect ps3 controller to PC and I had to run into the whole Motioninjoy affair. I have tried most of the methods and somehow I got to the installing drivers part. When I was done with installing them I re-plugged the controller and my PC froze. I remember back then my PC froze whenever I plugged in Dualshock 3. And now, my hunch to connect DS3 is back and I have found out how to connect the controller without any joys or drivers. The problem is I am afraid that my PC will freeze once again. I don't want to try this cause it takes a really long time to reload the PC. However, I will not be neglecting the chance to try out once my game is downloaded. In any case, what should I do? Should I delete the drivers I installed? If so, how to?
A keyboard and mouse may be the preferred input device for PC gaming, but there are others who are more comfortable with a console controller. Anyways, some genres-- like racing and fighting-- work better with a console controller (unless you are willing to fork over money for a special setup, like a fightstick).
No matter why you want to use a PS3 controller, we’ve got you covered.
In our guide to using a PS3 controller on the PC there are essentially, 2 ways to do this (the model of PS3 you own is not important):
This tutorial is meant to help people who are having issues with Scp DS3 not installing/starting the required service to use a PS3 controller on your PC. This video is a direct follow-up to my. Windows 10 have some issues when you would install the PS3 driver manually or even when you would try install the with MotionJoy/Better DS3. It would not detect it was a Gaming controller.
Note: looking for instructions on connecting your PS4 controller to your PC then check this out.
Maybe open the controller up, disconnect the battery, then put it back in, or see if there is any liquid in the controller. The most obvious way is to get a paper clip, then press the reset button with it. Turn on the PS3, connect the controller to the PS3, hold the PS button on the controller, then restart your PS3. I have plugged an Xbox 360 Controller to my computer which is decent gaming pc (can play Crysis on High with high fps) with Vista Ultimate 64. Driver conflict, there's your problem, windows. If you’ve clicked Save, go to the Downloads folder, locate driver_downlaoder.exe file and double-click it, and then go to the next step. Click Install Click the Install button.
Also Note: you might have heard about MotioninJoy in the past, but it’s no longer a good option due to ads (and possible viruses). More about that below.
What You Need:
Before anything else, make sure your PS3 is disconnected because if you press the PS button, it will connect with and turn on the PS3, thus not letting you connect it to your PC.
Then, connect your PS3 controller to your PC via the mini-USB cable to install the initial set of PS3 controller drivers. When the initial installation is complete, download the following (these are necessary for the SCP software to work):
Note: Most of you may already have these installed but it’s worth checking to avoid problems in the long run, especially if you aren’t sure if you have these in the first place. The installation process will tell you if you already have them installed so you can just opt-out from the installation process if needed.
